Are we going to work and work hard for the promotion and maintenance of a lasting peace and security thereby given? The answer must be an emphatic yes! The success or failure of world peace depends upon us, all of us-but only if we carry out our share of the job! And it is our obligation now to free our minds of any prejudices or ill-will that we may have developed in order to be well- informed. mentally alert. thinking persons who can intelligently analyze the news, understand what is proposed, and be ready to voice changes which we think should be made. Now is the time to make ourselves cap- able of doing our best work for democ- racy. to understand that mere cpinions mean nothing ,that these beliefs without. basis when applied to the complex tield of world affairs could change the entire course of events. There is a difference be- tween mere opinion and sound conviction. The most violent opinions are often based on ignorance and prejudice. Sound con- victions are based on knowledge, straight reasoning. and analysis of the facts. Ig- norant people and some politicians have more violent opinions on public questions than professional men and economists who know far more about them. We should fully realize that to make things run smoothly we must have a strong sense of cooperation. If we would have co- operation in this chaotic world, we must put it into practice ourselves in our own country, our own town, and our own homes. How can we hope to sustain peace if, at every suggestion offered. unwarrant- ed and time consuming arguments arise over issues that, received with an unbi- ased, common-good-for-all attitude, would run the gauntlet of public opinion and governmental machinery without harmful delay. However, this doesn't mean that we should become lax and inactive. If we are convinced by opinions based on knowledge that changes should be made. let's go ahead and speak, but-trip lightly. It is said that history repeats itself. Let's throw that saying to the wind and show the world that this generation can really use their hearts. and minds. and voices in establishing that security which can only be had by willing coordinated service from everyone. In publications. movies. and over the radio we frequently hear or read that little phrase in the next war. Why should there be another global conflict? To nie this seems like admitting our 0Wll stupidity. A re we so incapable or stubborn or grafty :r heartless or thoughtless that we would let this world fall into a bottom- less abyss just for our own temporary gain? I hope not. 1 pray not. lletfs put, our own sellish desires for personal gain and promoli n well in the background and go t'orth t'ully prepared to shoulder the responsibilities that are ours. And they are ours! N. llarker l+llll'l'.Vl'IUN Ulf' 'I'0NI0lilCOW After the war clouds have cleared and the world is normal again, countless changes will take place all over the U11it- ed States in our present educational sys- tem. These changes will be radical and will revolutionize education as we know it. llowever, today our educational status has been put to a world wide test. and it did not. meet the demands. The subject matter of schools will change from the traditional form to a 11ew system of carefully planned useful sub- jects. These would include: health, citizen- ship. home economics. and vocational train- ing. One asks, Are these as important as mathematics, foreign languages, histor- ies? Yes, they are. They are in many ways more important. because it is by these subjects that our everyday life is govern- ed and controlled. ldach student in the future will be orientated to his particular abilities and choices. Naturally to meet this change we must have new buildings and equipment. Sev- eral plans have been formed to bring about this change. These plans have been mitted to you, the People of lloulton, many times. in the Pioneer Times and in the Town lteport. To 1'eview theni briefly they sub- are: . -ft. Plan tlt To abolish all our present buildings and rebuild them i11 a centrally located area. llere we would have play- grounds. skating rinlis. tennis courts. and athletic lields. The grades are sub-primary. l-ti. T-St. Rllld 10-12. Plan L21 The second type plan in- volves the building of a new high school plus the addition of several rooms to Longfellow and Bowdoin Street. The pres- ent Pleasant Street School would be re- moved. and a new building erected on the present Main and Summer Street lot. Of course. this investment is cheaper than the tirst plan but does not olfer as great educational opportunities. A11 opportunity building is also aiforded by using the present Junior High building. liy oppor- tunity building is meant a building in which a child is given more opportunity ot' an exploratory nature than is regularly ss HONOR SOCIETY 5 , given in the traditional scheme. Plan 433 The third plan involves simp- ly the building of a new high school and using all of the present school buildings. It is the cheapest plan, but serious con- sideration should be given to plans which offer greater conveniences and educational advantages. It is important for you, People of Iloulton, to look at these plans, to study them, formulate your opinion, and most important to act. If this great educational awakening takes place, the federal gov- ernment will directly or indirectly operate the schools, and they will thus be con- trolled. Therefore, it is imperative that we plan for our children of tomorrow, for it is only tomorrow that these things will take place, rapidly and thoroughly. Let us BE PREPARED. G. DOW Senior Notes INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH RODE THE 600 At least that is what we eighth graders felt like when, in 1941, we first entered the formidable and thus far unapproach- able senior building. To our surprise it was not as bad as we were led to believe by our tormenting upper classmen. There were many golden hours to lighten the dark periods. The class was well named Freshmen. We were so green we said Yes, Ma'am to Mr. Dobbins, our math instructor. We struggled through our classes under the supervision of Miss Gellerson, Mrs. Howe, Miss Percival, Miss Stinchfield, and Mr. Dobbins. All of these have left Houl- ton High with the exception of Mrs. Howe. During this iirs'tE'ear .we elected as class officers Bob McCormack, President: Gloria Dow, Vice-President, Dean Ingraham, Treasurer: and Nydda Barker, Secretary. We advanced to the next year as Silly Sophomores, teased the Freshmen, and groveled in the path ot the Seniors. We took our places in the Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, Cheer Leading, Twirling Squad, Basketball, Hi-Y Club, and other activi- ties. We also gained the honor of attending the Senior assemblies. Then we were Juniors! Many of our 6 classmen won recognition in the Junior Speaking Contest. More of our boys went off to war. Billy Rush was one. Some of us entered the Honor Society and the Eng- lish Club. And we all wished for the bless- ed day when we would become Seniors. At last! after eleven long, struggling years, ibut we don't mean that we spent all that time in Houlton Highl we became Seniors. The glory of it soon wore off, and we settled down to some good hard work. At first we thought we could take it easy our last year, but to our disappointment there seemed to be more wo1'k than ever. Alma Brown was elected as our D. A. R. Candidate, and we hoped that she might be the one to go to Washington. Again we elected class officers: Merle Tyrrell, Presi- dent: Sophie Hughes, Vice President: Alma Brown, Secrtaryg and Stan. Grea.ves, Treasurer. Stage Door was given as our Senior Play. Mrs. Brooks was our director, and we had one of the best and most cherished good times of our high school years, in preparing and presenting this play. Speaking for the whole class of '45, we can look back on our high school days with few regrets. We believe we had the best, most helpful, and most understand- ing teachers of any school ever. Our prin- cipal, Mr. Lambert, could not be replaced in our hearts. As we relinquish our position to the Juniors, we wish them the same fun and good times we had in our senior year. We hope they will be able to look back on their high school years with the many fond memories that we have. Ruth Dunlop Junior Notes Since the class of 1946 entered the por- tals of Houlton High School three years ago, it' has grown from a giggling, awe- struck bunch of boys and girls into a so- phisticated, self-controlled group of ladies and gentlemen. fOr so we thinkl. The first of the year these Jolly Juniors didn't know quite how to behave as their position called for, but they have settled down to throwing erasers and chalk. In one way we should be very proud of these so-called masterminds. Why, acord- ing to latest poles, if it wasn't for 46, detention l1all would have to close down for lack of customers. They have even taken the championship from 45 as to keeping the teachers going. Ask M1's. Far- ley about that after the fourth period Eng- lish Class. But honestly, this year has brought forth many hidden talents. Under the title of authoress should go the names of Beth Lee Judkins, Veverly Phelps, and Carolyn McClosky. Of the band Mr. Bean tells me that without Al Astle, Joyce Leavitt, Jackie Hall, Georgia Holden, Marietta Doescher, Mary Shaw, Hank Baulch, Rog- er Jackins, Pat Clarke, Q-take a deep breath herel George Pray, Vaughn Tot- man, Joyce Daigle, Lois Barton, Dick Hatch, and Mary Spain there just would- n't be-well, you can see the end of that statement. We are very proud of our boys on the basketball team this year, too. Dick Hall, John Richards, George Pray, and Managers Hatch and Savage really proved their worth on the floor. Wise juniors we may beg but if it weren't for a few seniors, come French Prose day, our exultation would be greatly de- flated. fOr so it was whispered by a little birdl. In cupid's department the arrows nave been flying fast and straight. Many a new romance has started. Some have reached the year mark. tCongratulations, Joyce and Bobj. Of course, a few have fallen through, but here is to all of you. Good luck! Not many boys have left our fold for the armed services. But to those who do go before long-Good luck from your pals of 46. Because our class president, Oscar French, left for Ricker last fall, we elect- ed again early this year. Dick Hall and Vaughan Totman ran close, but Vaughan tinally won by a slight majority. CNancy and Vaughan are keeping the junior class White House in the family, it seemsj. These notes would hardly be complete without mentioning Madame Briggs, the guiding angel of Room 12. Those who have known our beloved French teacher will never forget her. Those who have yet to meet her will never know a better friend and teacher. We are proud to be juniors and hope we .will be able to fill the shoes of the seniors as well as they did this year. J. M. H. Sophomore Notes We have now acquired the title of So- phisticated Sophomoresf' This school year opened with an enroll- ment of eighty-six most extraordinary stu- dents. We regret the loss of a fellow stu- dent of last year, Kenneth Fitzpatrick. As a newcomer, Fay Fong Yee is very wel- come to this class of '47. He hasn't done too badly for himself either, way from the start. - The Sophomore Speaking Contest is ex- pected to go over in a big way this year. How could it help but do so with the fol- owing contestants: Gertrude Ayotte, Jan- ette Bates, Genette MacNair, Mary Skehan, Shirley Ingraham, Tommy Martin, Dick Manion, Larry Reece, Fay Fong Yee, and Eugene Wakefield. Fern Spinney and Beecher Tracy are alternates. Some little romances this year are those of Dick and Jackie, Genette and Dean, Lar- ry and Jean, and Paul and Normap A very recent twosome is Betty and Jerry. Oh yes, we can't forget Mary and Scotty, or is it Carl? We wonder too who Janette Bates has her eyes on now. Could it be someone from Ricker, Janette? All of us are doing our part in the school activities, such as the band, orches- tra, glee club, and basketball team. What would all these groups be if it weren't for the Sophomores to help make them a suc- cess? A Although we are said to be a very stu- pid class, we still have a large representa- tion on the honor roll. Speaking of salesmen for were we?J room sixteen beats anything we ever heard of. This room of ambitious-never-tiring girls had one hundred percent on the very first day of the Curtis Campaign. We have patriotically bought war bonds and stamps and have greatly helped in the' Red Cross drive. We are sure that in future years the pupils of the class of '47 will be listed among the leading citizens of our country. D. M. B. 7 N ,-.ff dwell' W F l'CSl1lll2ll1 Notes Ili Ya, Freslnnan!

Uur Casanova for this year seenis to ber llrad Scott. That boy really gets arzmund. Well, so long for another jain-packed year. M. L. B. O O 0Pg3lllZ3tlODS Although tl1e Honor Society, lll1dCl' the able supervision of Mrs. Howe, hasn't been so active as it was in the preceding years, it is still 0110 of the most prominent organizations of tl1e school. Thirty-live dollars has been earned, of which ten dol- lars was given to Mr. Lambert for the bronze placque fund and fifteen dollars was given to the Red Cross drive. The offi- cers for the Iirst semester were: p1'esident, Merle Tyrellg vice-president, Harry Sav- age, secretary, Joyce Dunphyg tl'62,l.Sl1l'Bl', Carolyn McCluskey. The officers elected for the second semester were: president, Elliot Bermang vice-president, Marietta Doescherg secretary, Kathryn Lovelyg treasurer, Barbara Charlton. ln order to be a lllelllbel' of this club ,one inust have an average of ninety or over. The English Club, under the guidance of Miss Kennard, has had several interest- ing speakers this winter. The officers for the lirst semester were: president, Sophie l-lughesg vice-president, Joyce Dunphyg secretary, Pauline Thompson. The second semester they were: president, Joyce Dun- phyg vice-president, Vaughan Totinang and K 'f' K t s VARSITY BAND KWH 6 Q e 1: as Rami xg, JUNIOR HIGH BAND secretary, Pauline Thompson. Starting the iifty-nine with only seven dollars, members of the club have earned thirty- flve dollars. They donated ten dollars to members who the Red Cross. The new came in at mdi-years were initiated at as- sembly. A junior must have an A for two consecutive qua1'ters, and seniors must have a B to be accepted into the English Club. Under the direction of Miss Rowe, the Senior Red Cross, made up of one repre- sentative from each Senior Division home room, have sent twenty-five Christmas boxes to Togus and have made Red Cross kit bags for the soldiers. Miss Wallace, the supervisor of the Junior Red Cross, and the members have done very well by sending to Togus one hundred and five Christmas boxes. The Hi-Y Club, with Mr. Lambert still its faculty advisor, has twenty-two mem- bers from all four classes and all churches. The requirements for the club are: Q15 good scholarship, Q21 Christian character, and Q33 high, ethical standards. The offi- cers are: president, Dean Ingrahamg vice- president, Elliott Bermang secretary, Henry Baulchg treasurer, Freddy Carroll. They back all worthy school activities and support all worth-while organizations. They have earned over seventy dollars. Four of our outstanding athletes-Bob lVlacNair, Bob MacC0rmick, Delmont Cum- ming, and Elliot Berman-are valiantly upholding the H-club. Seven new members will be intiated this spring. The only re- quirement is to get an athletic Hg but, be- cause of the war, there haven't been many chances for this except in basketball. The Future Farmers of H. H. S., part of a National Organization of boys studying agriculture, annually hatch and sell about five thousand chickens. The boys, of whom there are about two hundred thousand in the nation. not only study in regular school classes but are also required to carry on farming programs outside of school suitable to the part of the country where they live. The officers are as fol- lows: president, Freddy Annetteg vice president, Donald Bates: secretary, Ron- ald Sargentg treasurer, Freeman Taylor: reporter. Leigh Cumingsg faculty advisor, lVIr. Wood: executive committee, Donald Sewall, Thomas Martin, and Harlan Hen- derson. Last summer twenty-two of the boys planted seventy-two acres of potatoes. 10 The Glee Club, forty-three strong, is un- der the directou of Mrs. Fairley. It will participate in Music Night, May 3. Mrs. Fariley also directs the senior var- sity orchestra, which has thirty-seven members. The Melodiers under the leadership of David Grant have eight members. They are David Harbison, trumpet: Billy Holden, trombone: Georgia Holden, piano: Jackie Clifford, tenor sax: Freddy Carroll and Elliott Berman, alto sax and clarinet: Bob Gates, drums. They have entertained us several times in chapel. Mr. Bean is holding his position very well with forty uniformed members in the senior varsity band and fifty members in the junior varsity band. They also will take part in the program music night. Shirley Hall Assemblies Many excellent and entertaining assem- blies were presented for us this year. As usual in the opening assembly we were introduced to the teachers of the coming year-those who were our old friends and those who were new on the faculty. In later assemblies such interesting speakers as Father Honan and Father Rosinki spoke on the inspiring subjects of classical music and Poland. Our own Mrs. Brooks wrote and presented an unique Christmas pag- eant. It consisted of several tableaus which showed the sentiments of our nation at the yuletide season. The melodrama acted by the members of room eleven went over grand. And let's not forget to mention the perfect imitation of Frank Sinatra by Eldridge St. Peter and the swooning of Roger Jackins!! Also on this same program Mr. Roberts entertained with his sleight of hand and left us all program, the puzzled. The musical quiz hilarious English initiation, and the unus- ual talents added up to a varied and en- joyable year of assemblies. Likewise many unusual assemblies were presented High Students in their programs. These Junior High students have displayed real talent and skill in their programs with the plays- Midge Goes To The Movies, The Boston Tea Party, and The Fatal Quest, radio program, review of war and delightful by the Junior events, and two humorous pantomimes- Donald Dare, Master Detective, and Doctor's Lilelnmaf' These all were Xcel- lently done. Instrumental and vocal selec- tions by members of the Junior Division added entertaining specialties along with the Glee Club, band, and orchestra.

Around these players the coach selected a team that didn't win many game this year, but one that should go places ill the next two years. McNair with 91 points, Berman with 1:52 points, and McCormack with 95 points were the big guns for the Black and White. Greaves returned to the wars after a year's lay-off and played hard ball. Gar- eelon, a transfer from Oakiield, played a good brand of ball also. Dick Hall, John l'tieh:11'ds. and Billy Putnam are the boys to watch next year.

Mr. and Mrs. Houlton High School, this is your old friend, Alta Squinchell tcouldn't get along without mob bringing you the latest news that has dripped from the ink well. ATTENTION GIRLS!!! This man short- age is really something to think about. Only the other day I saw Joyce Bitherg Mar- ion Drew, and Patience Ann Williams flip- ping coins to see which one was going to walk down town with Elliott Berman! Speaking of the man shortage. here is a little poem I will pass on to you. MAN SHORTAGE Just give me a man With a million or two, Or one that is handsome Would happily dog A dashing yo11ng fellow Is swell any day, Or one that is famous Would suit me O. K. But if the man shortage Should get any worse Go back to the very First line of this verse. Ain't it cute Girls, but ain't it the truth!

A stranger was strolling down the one street that the village possessed, eyeing his surroundings with obvious distaste. No wonder! The dusty. unpaved street was narrow and filled with some of t.he most forloru-looking specimens of humanity ever beheld. The one general store and post office was dingy, the window dusty and fly specked. Certainly not the quaint, old fashioned country town Colonel Huntington had suggested as the suitable spot t'or recovery from a nervous break- down. No one to talk to, nothing to do- rosy future! muttered the handsome, yet tired and worn young mang and then he noticed a very lively pair of snapping black eyes peering from under bushy white eyebrows. Maybe this old duffer would be better to talk to than thin air, No harm trying. Before he could form a suitable greeting, the old man. perched precarious- ly on a cracker barrel in front of the store, drawled. Howdy, young feller. stranger to these parts? Yes, I came here on the advice of a friend who thought the mountain air would be a good thing for me. Nothin' like it. after you sift the dust outta it. Howsomeever . . Just then a shambling, disreputable- looking man shuffled past and entered the store, where he sagged on the counter and began a series of vituperative comments on everything under the sun. Politics, the depression. the editor of the weekly news- paper, summer visitors-this in reference to the young man on the porch-nothing was spared. Who, inquired the victim, is our dis- contented friend inside? Hin1? He's just one of Morrills from up Lonesome Mountain way. Shiftless, no-ac- count, ain't done a lick'o' work ill the last five years. None of us ain't over-a1n- bitiius, but he tops the lot. Wait a minute-.lim Morrill? That one that there was so much in the papers about after tl1e war? Yep, that's him. Tl1e11 pleased with having an audience he unfolded the fol- lowing tale: Jim wasn't always as ya see him now. Come Pearl Harbor, back in '41, he enlist- ed in the Air Corps and really did all right. He was a natural flier and got promoted fast. By the end of the war in Germany he had so many decorations that he looked like a Christmas Tree. Now, just about this time, one of them movie companies out in Hollywood decid- ed to make a movie, what they advertised as a saga of epic heroism about the Air Corps, and they wanted a real, honest-to- Godfrey bomber pilot to play the lead in it. Some way or other. they chose Jim, which was a mistake from the beginnin'. Not from the actin' point of view, he al- ways had been a show-off, so he made out o. k. there. It was just that he'd been spoil- ed, 'least as much as poor folks can spoil a child, and he just was11't big enough to take being the center of attention. When he landed in New York, comin' back from Europe, he didn't come home first to see his young wife Emily and their two kids. No. sir! He headed straight for the Coast. and nobody heard a word from him. 'C':urse. there was plenty in the pa- pers about him, Guess he made quite a sensation. First thing we knew, though, he was going around with one of them movie stars. Dolores LaPlatte. Emily didn't like the sound of that: she would have gone 87 out there and raised Cain, but nobody 'round here has the money for a. trip like that. Anyway, she let it go, and just watch- ed the newspapers to see what was gonna happen next-and it did! Jim Morrill, re- turned hero, now an important man in Hollywood, up and married this Dolores and set up housekeepin' in a thirty room house with a whole fleet of servants, a swimming pool, tennis courts an' every- thing. By this time Emily was nearly crazy, but nobody knew what to do. Finally, her seven year old son Dicky did what was most sensible thing, and the one we the had all overlooked. He wrote to his father and asked him why he hadn't come to see family, and told about how Emily his was so sick from worrying and all. Naturally, Dicky didn't get an answer. Anybody like Jim, out there, makin' more money in a day than comes into this town in a year, wasn't going to give up what seemed like a fool-proof racket, to come back here. But the youngster kept on try- ing, and somehow, Dolores saw one of the letters Dicky had written. At iirst she thought it was just a crank letter, but after a bit she got suspicious and started an investigation. The whole mess came to light pretty soon, and it sure was a picnic for the tabloids! They made a big story out of this war hero that everybody had admired so turning out to be what he really was- a guy who had left his wife and family to charity while he played a glamour-boy out in Hollywood. He hadda leave there, of course, and when he come home there sure wasn't a brass band to meet him at the station. He slunk in one night, lookin' like he'd been dragged through seven cities. His folks wouldn't have nothin' to do with him, so he's just been hanging' around doin' odd jobs, livin' in a shanty ever since. By this time the sun had nearly sunk behind the purple mountains in the dis- tance, and the young stranger rose from his perch on the wobbly porch rail and thanked the old man for an entertaining afternoon. As he wandered up the street, scufflng his feet in the dust, he thought that his summer mightn't be too dull after all. P. A.

Gertrude Ayotte MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Second Award, Short Story Contest The staff headquarters of Company G was the scene of an earnest conversation about a. volunteer whom they needed for a desperate mission. Admiral Cramer was there, and MacGregor's hands were twitch- ing impatiently as he kept pacing back and forth. The junior officers had their eyes fixed intently on the door. Silence prevailed in the room as the door opened and closed, admitting the slight lig- ure of-a boy dressed in the garb of the U. S. Marines. His face was sad, but his spark- ling eye betrayed the Devil's brew of emo tions within him. His hand went up auto- matically to a snappy salute, and then: he stood at perfect ease waiting for his orders. MacGregor stopped his pacing and turned about, facing the kid, and smiled slightly, trying vainly to say something to express himself. The captain stepped forward: You're John Rockland? I am, sir, came the reply. You know, of course, what you have just agreed to attempt. I do, sir. Then step over here, and wen will explain your orders.

Edwin Hanson lil'l I'Y'S HISTORY The tirst thing I reniember was waking up in a straw pile next to llly mother. I won- dered whore I was, but l couldn't quite tell. I had never seen a straw pile before, so how could I? Then I felt around a little. There were three other little balls of fur beside me. They looked just alike and were purring softly. Did I look like them? I wondered. A few days later my mother took the other three fur balls by the scuff of the neck and c-arried them to the huose of her young niistress, Then she came back after 1110. Just. as I eanie through tl1e door, I heard someone say, 'tOh, isn't, this one sweet! Where did this darling c-onie from ? I never noticed him before. Then the little lady saw nie. How cunning, she eried. Really, he is too adorable for wo1'ds. Oh, F111 glad, glad, glad. Slle fixed up a nice bed for us. Here we slept for days. Then we began to become more active. We would jump out a11d chase eaeh other's tails. This was fun! We lived 'hiere for a long time. Then Mary, 'sur mistress, said it was summer, so we were all' ed outdoors to play. Playing hide and se , we would get in some of the queerest places! Up trees and down trees, and every place! Then, one day Mary said she was having a. party. Really, it was her wedding. QI know what that word means, now.J Did we have fun that day! There were all kinds of things to eat and play with. Even yarn, which some of the old ladies had brought! We played and played and played. I got all tangled up once. When Mary moved to her new home, she could take only one of us. Which one would go? lt iinally fell to my lot. I was happy and sad all at once. Now, Ive been here three years and have some ehildren of my own. l'm not the only one, though! Mary has a small Bobbie, who plays with my children just as Mary used to play with me. Eleanor Haley FIFTEEN l'n1 not as smart as some people, but l'm not so dumb, either. I know it's hep for a girl to wear a, sweater at least one size too large and bobby-seeks and loafers with a penny in the left one for luck. But there is one thing I'll never quite understand. lt all happened so darn queer like. Almost like a movie. It was one of those wonderfully just- rightf' nights with the stars shining in all their glory and the new snow glistening in the moonlight as only new snow can. l didn't even have my French prose done, but I eouldn't let a wonderful evening like that just slide by without my doing something about it. As the skating rink is just a short way from home, I decided to go skating. As it was so lovely out that l wanted all the time possible for skating, I ran most of the way. I was all tired out when I got to the little old shanty by the rink so I simply sat down to rest a11d to watch the snow come lightly falling down on the skaters. Nvell, it didn't take long to get my skates on, but what took the time was hiding my shoes so that I would be able to Iind them when I wanted to go home. We girls always had to hide our shoes or seine silly boys would take ORCHESTRA them and not give them back until we were about ready to give up and go home without them. Then they might give them to us if we said please. After having carefully hidden my shoes I went. out to show my skill on ice. I got along line after I found out where the ruts were and were not. I had it pretty well timed-skate-skate-jump the rut-skate-etc. Then all of a sudden he came. His arm was around me, and he said very easily- Mind if I skate with you? and then he took my other hand. That's all there was to it. It all seemed so simple. I had never imagined myself skating with the best athletein all Houlton High School. And he was a very smooth dancer, too. 1 ean't remember what we talked about at first. I don't even know whether we talked or not. We just skated .and skated and laughed every time we came to those rough spots, and pretty soon we were laughing at everything. It all seemed so super. Pretty soon he said We'd better be going home now. By that I knew that he intend- ed to walk home with me. He went and got my shoes, and took off my skates for me, slung them over his back, and then we went home, together. When we got to my house he casually whispered, Good night, 1'll call you. He really said it. I can still hear him say, I'll call you. That was Thursday night, and here it is Tuesday night. I've got my homework all done, my hair all washed and pin-curled. I worked on a puzzle and listened to the radio, but all during this the only thing I've thought of is snow flakes, stars, a big yellow moon and him , I'm really not very sad about it though, because suddenly I've real- ized that those stars knew all the time that he would never, never call. They were just making fun of my being fifteen and smitten for the first time. J. Lambert ,-.1i..- A NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE At the foot of green, wooded hills lies a ti11y New England village, bordered on two sides by small, blue lakes. On the top of a very near hill, the little white church lifts its gleaming spire to the heavens. It is a peaceful place. 42 In one of the rather large country farm houses, my grandparents live. This house is situated so that it commands a view of the whole village. From the porch, one can observe the activities of the quiet town as the day rolls by. Twice a day, once in the morning .and again soon after dinner, the mail come in. As there is no house-to-house delivery, the inhabitants of the village gather early to wait until the mail is sorted, meanwhile lazily discussing the current news and gos- sip. On the steps and porch of the wooden post-office, old men may be seen any mo- ment in the day, idly smoking their pipes, talking politics, and settling world affairs. Small, bare-footed boys sit on the bridge, with fish poles dangling from their hands. Little girls play dolls under great, shady trees. Often, one may see a farmer entering one of the half dozen stores and coming out laden with food enough to last until he next 'comes in from a farm to do his weekly shop- ping. From the vine-covered hotel, persons dif- ferent in dress from the people of the vil- lage, saunter about the quiet streets. These are known as summer-people, who spend weeks of rest in this quiet place, away from the noise of city life. In the little barber shop, the village bar- ber may be seen, slowly and carefully shav- ing a neighbor, while exchanging the latest news with his customer. About noon, pleasant aromas drift from each home. Every wife and mother is scur- rying about, herding her children into the house to wash up for dinner. All the meals are hearty in this bit of New Eng- land. Biscuits, potatoes, milk, usually two or three different vegetables pie for dessert, is the usual thing is cooked to perfection. Two or three times a day, grandma.'s house must go to well for water. Early Sunday morning the and meat, with dinner. Every- someone from the neighbor's I town is awak- ened by the clear tones of the church bell, ringing across the country side and sum- moning the people to worship. In groups of two and threes, the country-folk, dressed in their best clothes, walk slowly up the hill to the church. All that day a Sunday quiet prevails over the village, broken only occasionally by the sound of an automobile passing through the town. As the sun sinks behind the l1ills and the shades of night fall softly over the village, everyone is in his comfortable home, ready to settle down to a peaceful night of rest. Beth Lee Judkins LISTEN HERE! I-Iey seniors! Remember how we used to fret and wait for the day when we would be doing our last stretch in high school? Re- member how we envied the lucky dogs, those seniors, their easy life and non-chalant ways, not once but all the time? Well, on the sly, what do you think of it now? Sure, I know, like me, you're crazy glad to have come this far and even want to continue on, but, well don't you think there's a few things we could soften, or, at least, give a hint about to these trusting disciples of our? Okay, then, here goes. and Come over here, fellows and girls, listen. I just want to give you a slight low- down on the technical ins and outs of this senior business. So you think you're going to be the big shots of the school, do you? Well, well! Then here's a preview for you of that day when you, feeling your new sta- tus in life, sally forth from your cell to loot tho knowledge lying loosely around those classrooms. Weighted down with your in- tellectual cargo, you sail into the corridor with your head high, fully prepared to meet the onrushing tide of hero-worshipers. At least you make mid-stream before the mas- sacre begins. A kick in the shins from that cut little fellow, a 45 degree shove off your course from this urchin, and, lo' and behold, you find yourself making a beachhead on the nearest neutral wall. Oh, the respect seniors get is terrific and what's worse, it's everlasting! What's that I hear-you say the teachers are different? Yes, my friend, I agree with you, to give credit where credit is due, they do give in and try to classify us as adults or, at least, as their contemporaries. What else could you call their sly hinting at our mental capacity with three or four chapters of this, nine or ten pages of that, forty or 43 fifty examples here, and a book report or two there all thrown into one relaxing even- ing. However, the catch to it is, according to the teachers, we lack that characteristic which would put us over the borderline from adolescence to maturity-mainly sense. Did you know that we are disreputable, degrad- ing, and ignorant examples for you, our poor admirers? Confldentially, I doubt that you ever notice us that much. How do you feel now, underclassmcn? Sorry, but I l1aven't the time just now to break to you some other advantages of being a senior but just one last hint. We have a great excess of time to ourselves, believe me. Hold those rotten tomatoes, seniors. Seriously, kids, we are terrifically happy about it all underneath, but try to get one of us to admit it!! Joyce Dunpliy J.

My body instinctively became stiff, para- lyzed momentarily with feer. Fear of what? I stared around the death-gray room at each of the four bare walls, long and searchingly as if expecting some wierd phenomena to emerge from their mocking blankness. With all my senses strained, I could hear nothing but the convulsive, heavy breathing in my own body. l tried to stifle that, as it seemed quite deafening and succeeded in somehow regulating, absorbing the breath- ing until it became almost imperceptible. My eyes were sore, dry, and aching. I was forced to close them. And then I saw them, hundreds of them, heard their indistinct, droning murmurs. The muffled, intermittent rhythm of their muttering was forever imprinted on my brain. The mass quickly darkened. Their forms were suddenly obliterated. All that re- mained were their eyes, the lights of their eyes shining from black depths. Eyes which, at intervals, expanded until they had become one, then contracted leaving once more tl1e thousand tiny lights. They were observing, analyzing, judging, forming their opinions which was ultimately one opinion. They were torment to behold, yet impossible to escape. Then they disappeared into the blackness. I could not know what they had decided, what they had come for, where they had gone. I knew I could not follow them, could not move. l could never know exactly what they were or why. They were gone. They had come and gone in a moment which seemed an undying terror. I recovered from the stupor, clenched my fist and felt the sharp nails dig into my flesh. Summoning my st1'enth, I heaved my whole body to the other side of the bed and began to breathe normally, no long- er afraid. It is the town clock which has just struck. It always rings at midnight. When will 1 ever remember? When will I ever accept it without fear, and know that I am not alone? PR l'lLl'Dl+l T0 SYMMER A beautiful springtime is lVIaine's heri- tage.

Never was a voyage more auspicionsly begun! As the new queen of the seas slowly drew away from her dock, no one questioned her construction. She was fittted with an elabor- ate system of water-tight compartments, cal- culated to make her unsinkable. She had been pronounced the safest Atlantic liner a- float as well as the most sumptuous. For four days the TITANIC'S unsuspect- ing company of 2,224 amused themselves in the luxurious saloons, promenading on the boat decks, lolling at their ease in steamer chairs, and swimming in the magnificent indoor pool. On Sunday night April 15th, under a star- studded sky, the TITANIC, ignorant of her fate, was sailing smoothly over a cold, black sea strewn with an icy mush. The lookout was restless. Suddenly to his horror he distinguished a gigantic mountain of ice. immediately he called the-bridge on the ship's telephone. No answer. He rang again. Sttill no answer! My God, he thought to himself, why don't they answer? Two or three minutes later First Officer Murdock picked up the phone. Too late! The speeding steamer, cleaving a silent sea, had reached the floating island of ice, which the unsinkable ship struck with a glancing though crushing blow on her starboard bow. Had Murdock answered the phone sooner, he would have saved the liner from her fatal blow. Even then, however, the shock was almost imperceptible. Those who had gone to their berths were awakened: those who were still up, feeling the slight vibration, thought that only a minor accident had occured. , The men in the engine room knew of the damage, -though, for they had felt the ice very like a giant can opener ripping the sub- merged prow of the ship. There followed a confused scene-that of 'the mingled cries of shouting men, surging water, and pound- ing ship machinery. Up on deck the picture was peaceful calm. Bridge and poker games were innocently progressingg people chatting. Suddenly the cry rang out, engers on deck with life-preserversf' Not until all we1'e assembled on deck, however, was the frightening truth revealed. There were life-boats to accomodate only 711 persons.

After he answered my question and 1 11a11 inspected l1is papers, sometliing prompted 111e to ask him 11 ques- tion. Did yo11 expect. to be ll0lllU for Christ- lll2iS, sailor? He looked 1118 straight i11 t11e eye and said, Yes, sir. It was a disappointment. I guess I won't be seein' Mom til the war is over. Guess I have11't any right to, sir. He saluted and walked briskly f1'0l11 the office. Right then 1 knew I was going to like l1i1n. 1 saw 111111 every day i11 tl1e infirm11ry. He was lily right hand man. He attracted my 11t,t,ention because he was so different fro1n the rest of us. He didn't smoke nor drink. I don't think I ever l1eard the kid swear. The rest of us to get our n1in11s off the war swore ourselves blue ill the face and got 1ll'1lllk every chance we got. One day, as 1 was coming in on 1l111.y, To11y was lying on a cot giving a blood transfus- io11 to il marine. The lllal'll'18 was i11 pain, and Tony was talking fast to get tl1e boy's lllllld off 11is crushed chest. lt see111s tl1e lllZ1l'lllQ had just finished telling 11is life his- tory an1l wanted to hear Tony's. I stood back in the shadows listening as he poure11 forth his story. . W. --.,. HI-Y CLUB Well, it isn't much, fella, but I'll give it to you fast 'n straight. I was born in Salerno Italy, 1925. My pop was killed in a street fighft, and mom and I had a pretty hard time of it for seven years. vOne day we heard about a boat leaving for America-America! the land of the free- where all men are equal! We borrowed some money from my uncle and took the boat. I remember Mom cried and then prayed, with me following her, when we came into view of the Lady in the harbor. Another corpsman was removing the transfusion set now, but Tony still talked on. i We settled in Brooklyn, and Mom took in washin's. She bundled me off to school as soon as possible. English came easy. to me, and I taught Mom what she didn't learn from the other women in the neighborhood. After school I sold papers on the street corner. I earned all my clothes this way and paid for my books at the convent. My happiness would have been complete it the Clacy, Harrigan, and O'Tooke kids hadn't beat me up every chance they got. You see mom and I had settled in an Irish neighborhood, and those Irish kids hated my gults. Mom was soled me and nursed my black eyes and At night we used to pray to- everything to me. She con- bruised body. gether by the window where we could see the Eastern Star. We asked God not to pun- ish the other boys. We told Him everything would turn out right. I guess it did. One day I beat up every last one of the gang. From that day on I was one of them-in fact-I was the boss. Tony sat up now on the edge of the cot and rolled down his sleeves as an H. A. gave the marine a drink of water. Still listenin', kid? Tony inquired as he looked anxiously at 'the figure bathed in sweat lying on the cot. Sure. 'Keep goin', fella. It-gets m-my mind off other--things. Well, Toney started again, Mom was always my girl friend. I never went out with girls. I used to take Mom to the movie every Saturday night after she hung out her washin'. 'A I saved all year to buy Mom a Christmas present-a jeweled pin. The day before Christmas she took sick, and I had to use the money for medicine. Next morning with tears in my eyes I told her about the pin. She hugged me close and said ,with a catch in her voice, Bambino, you're my Christmas present. Be with me on all my Christmases, and I'1l be happy. Come, kneel down and pray. We prayed. We prayed every Christmas. Mom was usually sick 'round that time of year, so I used to kneel by her bedside and pray. Then I used to go to the cathedral and come home and tell her all about it. Christmas was a day Mom and I always had together. This year will be -the first year we are separated. Too bad, fella, the marine said as Tony finished. Tough luck you couldn't make it home. I backed out of the tent, at the same time reaching in my pocket for a radio message which had been following Tony around the South Pacific for some time now. His moth- er was dead. I couldn't -tell him now. I just couldn't. We were pushing on tomorrow, and it would mean the lives of countless men if a pharmacist's mate cracked up in battle. I tore the message up and tossed it to the winds. :ll 4' 4 The big push was over. We had the island. There were still a few Japs on the island, and the guns were still booming. I was busy making out reports on the wound- ed when a T. A. rushed in. 'Scuse me, slr, but it's Tony. He's pretty bad. Shouldn't have given that blood the other day. He needs it now. I was out the door and half way to the infirmary before he had finished. When I entered the tent the chaplain had just finished his prayers. Tony was going pretty fast. I went over to the cot. He opened his eyes and smiled that same old smile. Glad you could come, sir-Wanted to tell -you've b-been as near a father to me as- He trailed off for a moment but opened his eyes again. If you see Mom when-you get backg tell her--. That was as far as he got. Whatever he didn't finish, he could tell his mother him- self. . 48 I stumbled over and opened -the tent flap. The sun was just coming up over the hor- izon. Before I could stop myself, I was down on my knees praying-me ! ! ! an old salt water tar who could outswear the devil, prayed with tears rolling down my cheeks! It was Christmas Day, and Tony was with his Mom. Elizabeth Conway BIOGRAPHY OF A CHINESE BOY Mlng Yen, one of a family of five, was born in Yenchow, China. His home was a small stone house with a thatched roof. He worked in the fields with his father and old- er brothers when he was not in school. When Ming was ten years old, his father went to America but returned to Yenchow three years later. He wanted one of his sons to be educated in the American schools. Since the two older brothers had already be- gun their education in China, it was decided that Ming should go to America and study law. A During the three years that Mr. Yen had been in America, the Japanese had invaded China. By the time that he and Ming were ready to leave for America, Shinghai, the city from which the American-bound boats sailed, had been surrounded by the Japs, bu-t by lying low during the day and travel- ing by night, they linally reached Shanghai. Since they were able to secure only one immediate passage to the United States, Ming was left to await the next steamer. Three months later, aboard a Russian steamer, he sailed into Vancouver. From there he was whisked to Montreal where he was questioned until he thought he might just as well have given his life history in the first place. lt would have saved a lot of time. At last, after what seemed months but was really only a matter of days, he reached Boston where his father met him. Togeth- er they talked over and made final prepar- ations for his entrance to Harvard Law School from which he graduated four years later as leader of his class. Then, all of a sudden, it happened-Pearl Harbor. Ming knew, as did his father, that he could not be content until he had done as so many of his fellow countrymen were doing. 'Today in Yenchow in the 'window of a tiny stone house with a thatched roof there shines a gold star. Ming too like .many others gave his all that we migh-t Alive a richer, fuller llf.e 7 'L J. Leavit THE LAST RACE Hi, mom, shouted Brad as he walked into the clean, white kitchen of the Nelson home. ' Hello, son, replied Mrs. Nelson in a cheery tone. The calm quiet mother looked at her son with tear-filled eyes. Yes, this was the time she had dreaded ever since the war had begun. Soon her son was to go off to war like his father. For months she had knelt down at the foot of her bed in prayer. Oh, God, please don't take 'my son away from me. You have taken my hus- band. Isn't that enough? She turned her thoughts back to her son who was taking on his coat. Brad, wash and come out and get your dinner. Brad sat down at the table and took out the daily paper. I wish you would put that paper down. I don't hear a word from you during all your lunch hour, said Mrs. Nelson to Brad. Right away, mom. Say, see what it says here on fthe sports page. Brad began read- ing. Colton High School vies with Brad- bury Prep for state track crown. The state track championship will be decided at Alumni field next Saturday afternoon. The teams will be evenly matched throughout the contest, and the mile, the last event in the meet, will probably decide which school is the champion. The Blue and White of Colton will de- pend on Joe Radcliffe, a junior, who is their top man in the mile event, while the Red and White of Bradbury will bank their hopes on Jim Bentor, the top miler for the Preps. Runners who will also en-ter in the mile even for Colton will be Nelson and McPher- son, while Sherman and Dixon will also start for the Red and White. This meet will be the last time Brad Nelson will be able t orepresent Colton, as he is going into the service next week. Well, said Brad, I have got to get back to school.

Riel1111'd Hatch SENIOR PLAY CAST BOYS' GUIDANCE CLASS l7A'l'S, FICIAINE AND OTHERWISE You know, when you come right down to itz, it's really insulting a poor tabby to com- pare it to an overly-talkative malicious per- son. The cat, at its worst, can inflict only scratches-skindeepfebut catty people can do damage that is decidely more than superficial, Let, us consider the cat: lt is said that a cat has 110 affection lor the person whose house it graces. Well, if you were treated merely like a decorative piece of furniture, how would you react? l'll admit that no cat will strain itself at lirst. to demonstrate undying love and af- fection. They're too intelligent for that. Like humans, they render just about the same amount of interest they receive. A cat, has enough self-respect and dignity to be wary of showing too much liking for one at iirst. She realizes that snap judgments are not to be relied on. Wouldn't it be rath- er embarrassing, after having purred deep devotion ,to decide that the object of it all was an odious creature who only tolerated cats because they were good mousers? While a cat is an excellent decoration to a home with its poise and sleek sinuous grace, I like to think of one more as a com- 52 panion. You laugh? You say a cat is not intelligent, suited only to be a companion to her kittens? Nonsense! Upon what grounds do you base that rash assertion? You say a cat has no intelligence because you cannot. teach it tricks as a dog? lJon't you realize that a ca-t has too much reserve for such clown-like actions. A dog is -al- most pitiful in its efforts to learn new rou- tine in order to give pleasure to its master. Servile animal! lf a cat affords its protector pleasure while going about its own affairs, all well and goody but no conscious effort is made. certainly. And yet a cat, supplies a warmth. a lived-in feeling to a housefmaybe it's simply the worn tattered arms of her favor- ite chair, but there is definitely something about a house graced by a cat. Is there anything delightful about a cat- ty person? Does her condescending to pay you any attention fill you with a glow of pride and honor? No-you're scared silly about what remarks she'll make when she find the opportunity. Why then. doesn't someone do something about the desecration of the name Cat? Patience Anne Williams TREES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTA Many, many years ago Mother Nature called before her all the trees on the earth. With these giant plants she held a council to settle a war which was being waged among them. The willow came meekly before Mother Nature and, in a voice filled with tears, tim- idly charged the birch with crowding her un- til she had no place to grow. Pushing the willow aside, the majestic oul-1 roared, Mother Nature, I demand that the maple move out of my kingdom. I need more space in which to show my elegance to its best advantage and in which to bear my most delicious fruit, the acorn! At that moment the maple lifted his gigan- tic branches for silence and politely cuieted the kingly oak. Dear Mother Na- ture. he said, I had no idea that I was crowding King Oak to such a degree, but I too require a good deal of space. I think it is no more fair for me to grow in a smaller space than for him. Ah, Mother Nature, gasped the elm, heedless of the speaking maple, surely, I can not exist with two such majestic cousins as the oak and the maple pushing me on both sides. They both believe they deserve more space than any of the other trees. Hy that time the birch had pushed his way through the crowd and was standing before Mother Nature. The willow has pleaded her cause, he stated, but, being late, I could not defend myself. Right now I want to say that the willow, although seemingly timid is extremely saucy. She could not remain friends with any tree that is her neighbor. ln a corner by themselves stood the fir families. All were looking about haughtily. Some were combing and brushing their long spills with pine cones: others were view- ing themselves in a nearby pool. The firs were famous for their dislike of Mother Nature. The reason was that she made them remove their dresses of green in .the winter. Towering above them all was the redwood, who had stood peacefully through the entire discussion. The redwood was a happy but short-lived tree. He made no comments on the trees' problems, and no tree remarked against the redwood, for he was loved by nearly all. After hearing all the complaints, Mother Nature sighed gently and asked for silence. At once the trees ceased their moaning and stood at attention. t'My children, began Mother Nature, you have all told me your troubles, and I am going to try -to solve,them the best I can. Perhaps my decision will displease some of you, but you must remember that I am try- ing to make life happy for you all. Tree Willow was the first to utter a. complaint, so I shall assign her a different life to live in the future. I shall prophesy for each of you in turn after I settle with the willows. I In the future, Tree Willow, you shall be placed, for the most part, on lawns where you will not be crowded, but instead of be- ing happy, you must droop your branches and weep. Everyone will call you 'Weeping WVillow'. You, King Oak, will be placed in open fields and in the forest by yourself. The maple will be placed elsewhere and will not crowd you hereafter. Yes, said Mother Nature, turning -to the maple, I am going to put you on farms where you can have unlimited space. While you stand, you must never be idleg but must, at all times, be ready to offer your branches as shade to anyone who wishes it. The elm, not willing to restrain himself blew at Mother Nature's hair any longer, and inquired, What is my future to be? You, replied Mother Nature, must spread your branches along city avenues. However, at times you must live beside the maple, and I expect you to be good neigh- hors. The little birch family came next to Mother Nature's eyes. To them she remark- ed 'tYou must be contented to dwell any where. At all times you must be prepared to make new friends and to live with other cousins in peace. To the haughty firs she said, I realize you dislike me because you cannot leave your dresses on at all times, so from now on you shall never remove your garments until a new one is 1'eady to replace the old. However, since you are always to be dressed, you must move farther north where you will give seeds to hungry birds in the win- ter. Some of you will make homes around 53 lqJqqes,fyyl1e1'e you can forever admire your- sglyqesnin my mirrors of water. l,fI',l1q,,tpwering redwood was the last to re- ceive a prophesy from Mother Nature. Tak- irtyfgvitvgently by a branch, Mother Nature said' softly, My friend, you have made no d'iIsBu1'lfance, for all you are short lived, lrepcleigroni now on I bestow upon you a life otwuiirtolld length. Also upon you falls the honor of having sovereignity over all other trees. You will grow to a great height and be from your ocusins, so that you may their conduct with greater ease. lilrlisinissing the council, Mother Nature then planted each tree on its given territory. In STI dfming she created for trees environ- liiatilsxwliicll have continued to this day. . . ,, . JN, 30 2 Fern B.

At last it came-the real, true, honest, unforgetahle, un-dying love for a person of the opposite sex. First thing you knew you were walking dazedly away from the altar, hearing someone say, Congratulations, my dear. You two make an ideal couple. The last step in this cycle was love for your own two youngsters. iftemember the shock you got when you asked dazedly, ls it a boy or a girl? and the quick answer came back: Both! TWins! J On those lovely days when you went around the house picking up dishes and food from the floor and washing those diapers, we heard you muttering, I love 'em, 'love 'em, I love 'em, so you wouldnlt forget it. Then before you knew it, Junior was tak- ing the little girl with the long, blond curls to the movies: Sis and her intellectual boy- friend were two rows behind themg and you were sitting back in your rocking chair watching a world propelled by love go 'round and 'round and 'round.

I know I should have won that show. Why didn't they understand that I'm better than he is? Those judges must be unbalanced. I probably shall never have the chance agaiug or if I do, I probably won't dare try any- way. This kind of a night doesn't help me either. It's dark and dreary just the way I feel. I'm just one bunch of gloom. Oh, why must I suffer such disgrace? Wait. What is that lurking there in the darkness of the ally? Could it be - - - ah, yes, - it is, my worst enemy. I'm going to have a second chance. Yes, and this is it. If I can defeat him, I won't be disgraced in my own eyes anymore. Then the life and death struggle was on. The sounds from the ally were fierce and loud. After a few seconds that seemed like hours, it stopped as quickly as it had start- ed. I guess that finishes my enemy. I knew I could do it. I guess if the judges were here now they would feel pretty silly. Even though l should have won the dog show, I have won something better than that. I have defeated my enemy, the alley-cat, for good. And he was the toughest darned alley- cat in town too. Gennette MacNair NEOPHYTE Here in the midst of creation Filled with a strange exaltation I draw my coat closly about me. Forgetting the coldness without me, Nervously scanning with guilty sense Archaic doctrines and documents Life, matter, motion, Venus and Mars, Humbly I stare at a sky full of stars. Time, space, and death, so hopeless to fathom. With a mind filled with awe, I realize . . the atom. A pressure so great does this knowledge create My mind is appalled. My rapid heart falters, I reel and then fall. My hands shake with fear. My dizzy mind whirls through an infinite sphere. A heaven of galaxies beat in my brain. Hellish, hypnotic eyes drill me with pain. I bow before knowledge too heavy to bear. Beaten, exhausted, too weak, now, for prayer Reduced to confusion ..... Pathetic and low Lost in a cry, I don't know! I don't know!

Hyde THE AENEID BOOK TWO Am-nm-as sat by lJido's side To tell his wanderings far and wide And first relate the tragic story About the dreadful fall of Troy. The Greeks, withdrawn to Tenedos, Ilad left behind a wooden horse. Whose sides enclosed a secret lair For tin-ciziii soldiers hidden there. The horse outside the city's wall. Was viewed by Trojans, one and all. Some men believed 'twas best to lake The horse within the city's gate. llaocoon, Minerva's priest, Tried not to let the Trojans rest Till he could make them clearly see No Grecian gifts from guile were free. While this debate was taking place, it Grecian spy with friendly face Was brought before the Trojan crowd And in a voice both clear and loud Declared that Sinou was his name. A sacrifice he'd be 'twas plain If with the Greeks he should remain. His story was believed by all. lic straighway went to l'riam's hall And there declared with honest mien The wooden ll01'SC which they had ss-cu The Greeks had built with greatest care To please Minerva, wise and fair. RED CROSS COUNCIL 58 If Trojans took the horse within, The Grecian warriors would 'not win. As Priam listened with delight, He heard about Laocoon's plight- The priest by serpents had been slain. No opposition now remained, The gates of Troy were broken downg Tho horse was brought within the t0Wll. Now all of Troy could sleep in peace, llecause from fear it was released. When hlackest night had come about, Then Sinon let the soldiers out That in the horse had been concealed. They straightway fiery brands did wield, At once the city was aflame. Then Hector to Aeneas came, Awoke him with a dream-a plea To rise and meet calamity. Aeneas, with his friends, took arms, And reached the palace without harm Where Priam sought with all his might His son to save from Pyrrhus' fight. Alas, the task was all in vaing Priam and Polites both were slain. In grief, Aeneas homeward started, Met Helen, but no harm imparted: Tho with her blood he'd have stained the land, Had Venus not restrained his hand. Aeneas reached his home at length And bore away with manly strength On shoulders wide, his father old. But first directions he had told Unto his wife and son most dear: The son should follow very near. The wife should at a distance stay, As to a shrine, they made their way. Aeneas to the temple came And sought his wife-but all in vain. So back he went unto his house To seek Creusa, all alone. His palace there was filled with foes. He sadly thought of all his woes. But comfort camep a shade appeared And set aside what he had feared. He saw 'Creusa safe and well, For with gods she now did dwell. She spoke to him with words of cheer And told'oflher deliverance here. At dawn Aeneas sought once more The safety of the temple door. A multitude did now await To seek Mt. Ida and escape. When the Morning Star next rose in view, Hope filled the Trojan hearts anew: A Rome lnuch st1'onger than before Tl1ey'd build upon a foreign shore. Beth L. Judkins DA 1' DHEA MS I try, when I am feeling blue, And things have gone all wrong To think of pleasant things And sing a happy song. l'll sing of every lovely thing My mind was known or thought, Of things that can't be borrowed And some that can't be bought. l'll fill my thoughts with glowing lights And colors, bright and gayg l'll think of ferris wheels and clowns And children at their play. l'll dream about my future And things I'd like to do. My pleasures will be many, And my troubles will be few. l'll dream of riding horses In grand and stately style Or riding 'mong the trees and hills Andvsinging all the while Of lovely hues of rainbows, Of a farm at early morn, Of rushing off to stables To see if colts are born. Sometimes l'll have a castle And breakfast in my bed With forty satin pillows On which to rest my head. But most of all, I'd like to be Just happy every day And never let a gloomy thought Come in my mind to stay.
